Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ChargePoint® at 4.3 against CONSOL3's 2.2. ChargePoint® also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 14) and chart position (#21 vs unranked). CONSOL3's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (22% vs 13%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ChargePoint® holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChargePoint® has 19K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of ChargePoint®'s written reviews are positive against 22% of CONSOL3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ChargePoint® ships an update fortnightly, CONSOL3 every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
